    Hi

    If this tread goes a bit rude etc mods please close it down.

    Probably the most immature tread ever but anyway :rolleyes:

    If you take a light hearted view of your job, is there any terms/ expressions or whatever used regularly during the course of your job, that make you snigger to yourself every now and again.

    I work in a steel company and every day we use terms like

    Stiffener
    Flange
    Member
    Butt

    and a few others which are innocent terms but might sound a bit rude :D

    anyway just wondering were there others in different companies :)

    Used to audit a company that manufactured abrasive balls for cleaning out pipes. It was balls this, balls that, endless phonecalls from customers looking for their balls. It was all balls, all day long. They couldn't understand why I sat there all day sniggering.:)

    Not in work, but was in Lidl yesterday, and came across a 'Water Butt Pump" they were selling.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,808 ✭✭✭✭chin_grin

    Wasn't there a Kildare inter-county player called Bill Sex?

    There used to be jokes about him dribbling before he shoots.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,055 ✭✭✭✭Wishbone Ash


    My memory was not deceiving me! :D
    UCD was awash with a host of brilliant intercounty players from the four corners of Ireland . UCD also instituted the all Ireland sevens competition , which was the first sponsored GAA event . UCD defeated Nemo Rangers of cork on a Scoreline of 1-11 to 0-12 in the 1975 final. the line out was I.HEFFERNAN,M.JUDGE,G.O,REILLY,C.MOYNIHAN,P.J O HALLORAN,E and F O Donoghue, THE GENTLE M.CARTY,P.,ONEILL,B.DUNLEAVY,J.P KEANE,J.and B.WALSH,P. DUGGAN,B.HENEGHAN.
    In 1985 After a gap of six years the Sigerson returned to Belfield when the team captained by Bill Sex of Kildare . The winning team was -S.Maguire,JJjmc Kearney,SmcGovern,So.Neill,P.Smith,N McCaffrey,A.Healy,W.SEX,MoDonoghue,S.Ryan,,D.flanagan,J.Lyons,M .Lynam, N.Clancy,P.mcNamee and S.Rodgers. Overtime UCD has been fortunate to have the services of Graduate officials such as DR.JJ. Stuart ( Uachtharan C.L.G 1958), Paddy Mc Donald , Brendan Devlin, Gerry Dineen , Eugene Mc Gee ,Cathal Young , Sean Murray,Adrian Wynne and Seamus Conaty amongst others to supplement the vibrant enthusiasm of student members.UCD won the Sigerson in 1996 after a lapse of 11 years. the team was captained by Facthna Collins and managed by John Reilly,Tommy Sullivan and Seamus Rodgers.

    I used to have to use the tannoy system in my old job & regularly had to ask for the Cuir (pronounced queer) Engineer to contact reception, which I used to find quite funny!

    We used to call these "honymoon pliers" :)

    When you squeezed the handles the little prongs would open up the hole they were inserted into, designed for cable sleeving.

    used to work in a DIY store that sold "Fat Peckers"


    They were bird feeders, but still :D

    i worked in a phone shop and we had to take people's names when they bought phones. I asked a guy about 20 his name and he replied, with a tone that suggested he thought i was going to burst out laughing "it's swedish ok, my name is ruud van luu"

    i didn't burst out laughing. I managed to hold it together until he left the shop
